no matter how well you research and prepare, unless you're with a native, the tourist traps WILL get you...

saw chocolate hills today & had photo op with a world-weary tarsier.

sad that the waves were too strong for dolphin watching today. better luck tomorrow... at least we got to snorkel & have lobster brunch!

tomorrow's weather will be better so we can watch dolphins & go snorkeling!

quotable from dawn: 'you got your phonecall, i got my sashimi. That's how it's going to be.'

back at alumbong. 2 cocktails didn't do too much damage. Chased them down with 2 h2o, which may have helped.

on alona beach sharing seaweed salad, sashimi, & cocktails on a windy night

at alona beach, explored a bit. Pretty place, despite the gray weather. Lotsa dive shops.

we're at our first NICE resort of the trip, it's gray & drizzly. Perfect setting for lounging around & reflection. We wanna beach tho!

that boat ride was hella cold (oxymoronic i know). signal no.1 typhoon in tagbilaran. My nose is runny & i'm hungry... *sigh* [phplurk.com]
